Two issues of HaShofar – “HaNoar Ha-Agudati Gedudei y-h Kevutzot nachshonim” regarding the death of the Chazon Ish and the founding of the Chinuch Atzmai network. Issues were published once a month and discussed internal charedi events.
* Issue 19, end of Kislev 1954, announcing the death of the Chazon Ish: “On Erev Shabbat parshas Vayera, about two hours after chatzot, the Raban shel kol bnei HaGola, Maran HaChazon Ish ztz”l, returned his soul…” Includes articles and compilations from the Chazon Ish’s behaviors along with a death announcement for Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer, “as we finshed this issue, we received the horrifying news about the death of HaGaon HaRav Isser Zalman Meltzer. In the upcoming issue, to be published in Tevet, much space will be dedicated to his memory. Members are requested to send material as quickly as possible.” The issue was published about thirty days after the death of the Chazon Ish. Since it appeared only once a month, it only announced his death thirty days later.
* Issue 14-15, Tamuz-Av [1953], announces the establishment of the Chinuch Atzmai network: “like Jews everywhere, we are happy to hear about the establishment of the Chinuch Atzmai network. This educational network, which will provide a Torah education to whoever wants it, will be operated and supervised by Torah greats.” The interior pages include articles regarding Chinuch Atzmai and a notice about the inauguration of the Ponevezh Beit Medrash with a picture of the yeshiva building.
